Vicious Cycles Episode 4: The Hunt for Lost Treasure

For this episode, we’re going to dig into what Commodus is calling “The Hunt for the Lost Treasure”. We start with one of Shahrazad's own stories: The tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Then, we explore some lost cities -- some of which are purely fictional, and some of which have some very real history and archaeology behind them!
